Does it seem to anyone else that the media is trying to create a crisis about the Cornona virus? I notice that all the news outlets are Cornona 24/7 now. In a country of millions of people, we hover around 200-300 cases, and the people that died from it is a small number, mostly elderly with underlying serious health conditions. The nursing home in Washington state was crowded with people coming in and out with no control and apparently no rules and they had a Mardi Gras party with others coming in.
I'm all for following the CDC guidelines of washing your hands, and trying to minimize your interaction with large crowds of people. I was in Walmart today and there wasn't any handsanitizer or any kind of kitchen anti-bacterial wipes (I always have this stuff on hand, so I hav no problem) One funny thing is that Walmart had no antibacterial wipes at the door for their customers to use, like most of the grocery stores do now.

The media is apparently pushing this hoax since more folks especially kids are dying from the flu! Corona is the flu and targets old folks like me. Hope I am wrong.

but maybe not. do you want to gamble the lives of yourself and those you love in the cassino of political talking points? Almost every year we have a situation of mandatory evacuations from the projected paths of hurricanes. Often it proves unnecessary and everybody bitches and moans except when they don't because the evacuation saved their lives! This ''crisis'' is real whether Trump likes it or not! We have gone from less tha 60 infected to almost 500 and one death to 19 in less than 10 days...extrapolate that to 2 or 3 months at the same rate of infection and tell me it is a damned ''hoax''! Yes, Hound the flue has infected many more, but remember the flue also starts with the first few and the flue, which eventually effects tens of millions, kills tens of thousands. If this thing ever spreads to tens of millions with a death rate even in the lowest range of forecast it will result in millions of fatalities in the US alone.
So, if you want to follow the Trump talking points rather than medical science and call this a ''hoax'' go ahead, but be aware that by doing so you may be condemning many more to sickness and even death than if we all believed and followed the advice of the medical experts rather than a puffed up self-serving politician!

FB friends all over the country are talking about people stockplining supplies - all kinds of antibacterial wipes, garbage bags, TP, etc. it's crazy. I saw a segment on CBS Sunday Morning, where some author who is an expert on the Spanish Flu Epidemic of 1918 is trying to draw a parallel to the Cornona Virus, claiming the government is now, as then lying to us. It's just irresponsible.

The author telling the truth ot hte government lying?!!! I think some Trumpistas have completely being awfully foolish and that foolishness may, probably not. but may mean some people lose their lives.
Certainly none of us should panic and, with a few extra precautions, should go about our normal life, but to simply spout Trump's line that this will just miraculously disapper is the ultimate example of irresponsible!

Antifatech is getting more and more unhinged by the second. If he does not get his BP under control I fear he will pop a gasket. If Trump wins 2020 he will become even more unglued and fanatic.
